"I'm not sure what I just watched but it sure was entertaining"

11 roster additions down and two to go for Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats. Who will they be? All eyes are on Chaz Lanier and Jaxson Robinson to close things out while three-star forward Jamie Vinson has also emerged as a potential 13th man out of Oak Hill, visiting campus this week.What should we expect with both visits wrapped up and a decision coming shortly for Lanier? Where do things stand for Robinson as he tests the draft waters ahead of next week’s deadline?Also, how did Pope’s first live period go as the head coach at Kentucky? KSR was in attendance at EYBL Session III in Indianapolis following him and the staff around as they lay the foundation of their recruiting base in 2025 and beyond.

Last week it was nine, now it’s 11 for Mark Pope and Kentucky basketball. Trent Noah made the decision to flip from South Carolina to the Wildcats late last week, followed by the most recent addition of Fairleigh Dickinson transfer Ansley Almonor.What do those signings mean for Kentucky? And what’s next for the Wildcats with two scholarship spots remaining? All eyes are on North Florida’s Chaz Lanier and BYU’s Jaxson Robinson, both exploring their draft options with UK seen as a top contender should they decide to pull out.Is this roster competitive as currently constructed? And what needs to be added to take it to the next level in Pope’s first season in Lexington? Sources Say breaks it down tonight in episode 335. You can watch the show in its entirety below:

Things are coming together, folks. The Kentucky basketball roster is up to nine and the staff is up to four, just a few key pieces here and there to close things out for Mark Pope’s first official ride in Lexington.Two of the newest pieces? Dayton sharpshooter Koby Brea and West Virginia playmaker Kerr Kriisa, top backcourt targets for Pope out of the portal that are now signed, sealed and delivered. What’s next? Well, it starts with star talent — and the Wildcats are fortunately positioned well for at least one of those.How did we get to this point and what’s next for the Wildcats? Sources Say breaks it down in episode 334. You can watch the show in its entirety below:

Kentucky entered this past weekend with just three signees in Collin Chandler, Travis Perry and Amari Williams. In the five days since, Mark Pope and his staff have added four new pieces, starting with Lamont Butler of San Diego State, followed by Otega Oweh of Oklahoma, Andrew Carr of Wake Forest, and now, Brandon Garrison of Oklahoma State.What’s next? We may not have to wait very long, as Kentucky is in the driver’s seat to land Dayton sharpshooter Koby Brea — the top 3-point specialist in the transfer portal set to decide between UK, UConn, Kansas, UNC and Duke.Sources Say would like to thank today’s sponsors, MyPerfectFranchise.net and Factor.The Sources Say podcast is also brought to you by Andy Luedecke and MyPerfectFranchise.Net. Andy is a franchise consultant (as well as franchise owner) and helps people find franchises that fit their skill sets, financial requirements, time to commit and more. His services are 100% free and he’s here to help if you have any questions about business ownership. You can learn more about MyPerfectFranchise at: www.myperfectfranchise.netWhile you’re at it, eat stress-free this spring with Factor’s delicious, ready-to-eat meals.
